LTP

In learning through play we go to different classes and do different things. This week I have only been doing planet construction, next week I'm going to do junky monkey or makey makey.  junky monkey is where you go play with headless, naked dolls and make them into other things like for instance you take a barbie head off and put a car on it.  

Planet construction is where there is lots of fun toys like lego and metal parts, that's where I was this week.  planet construction isn't that easy though cause in the next week koka Lea is going set up challenges, for instance you have to build an airplane with only squares. 

Cardboard nation is a place where you create lots of things with cardboard, people make things like helmets, armour and vehicles.  I haven't been to cardboard nation yet but I might give it a try next week.       

School Holidays

in the school holidays I took a trip to Auckland with my youngest sister and my Mum and dad, my sister had her operation so I stayed at my cousins house and played nba 2K20.  on the way to Auckland we saw all of the fluffy clouds in the light blue sky. 

when we had finished playing 2K20 we walked to my cousins friends house and had a swim in his spa.  after the spa we played fortnite for a couple hours then walked back home.  it was about dark when we go back so we had a little time on our phones and went to bed.  the next day we were going to piha, when we got there we went straight to the xbox and played battlefront.

on our way back home I saw wispy fluffy clouds throughout the plane window it was so cool seeing all of the dark blue ocean.  the sea was dark but got lighter in the shallow.  when we landed Isaw jacinda ardern turns out she was on our plane too.

Menus

this week we had a priority that was make a menu of food you like and food you don't like I made a menu by using a couple text boxes and some photos.  The first menu was about food I like, I did a Cheese pizza, a cheeseburger and a chocolate milkshake.  You have to write your price of your food and anything that comes with your food.  there was a side of chips that came with the cheeseburger.  for my beverage I did a nice fresh chocolate milkshake with hershey's sauce and whipped cream.

for my disgusting menu I did raw broccoli with a side of broccoli sauce.  this menu was about stuff you didn't like so in the short blurb about it you would discourage your patients.  for my beverage I did a broccoli soup with brussel sprouts and lots of cabbage to make it even worse it was all raw.  for my last meal I did frozen brussel sprouts with a side of hot sauce.        

Bubble Groups

At school we have Bubble Groups.  right now you're probably wondering what a bubble group is?  Well here's some information about a bubble group basically it is where you have a team of 5 4  and 6 and your group has to make bubble wand and mixture.  One group wins and the others place 2nd and 3rd.

When we got outside to test our bubble mixture our team made a big as one but then got topped 10x by another team who made the biggest one ever.  I walked over to some other groups who were making massive bubbles bigger than my group at least. I was at jacksons group when they did a massive bubble bigger than me it was so cool koka holly got it on camera.

After that I watched some other groups, and did some more bubbles with my group we had lots of different wands and different bubbles.  I had a turn with the biggest wand of the group and made a big as bubble.  I recomend this for anybody reading it is a fun activity that you can do with friends and family.

Just Dance

Just Dance

Just Dance is a thing we do everyday, basically it is a video that you watch and dance to the song.  You have to follow the person who is dancing on the screen and if you do this everyday you get super fit.  It helps with losing weight and is super healthy for the human body, if you do this 30 minutes to 1 hour a day for more than 3 weeks you lose a lot of weight and you can trust me on that one.  There are a lot of different videos with different songs so you can choose what one you want, maybe your favourite song is on there ?

We do Just Dance after morning tea.  We do two songs everytime we go to Just Dance (and they're not the same songs) . We have groups of 4,3,2,  and 1 you can pick your own groups.  Some of the songs that we play are bad but some are good, it gets your blood super high and it's good to get your energy down straight after morning tea. 

Just Dance is so fun and if you are reading this you should consider doing it.    

Lockdown Journey

Lockdown Journey

Lockdown started on the 25th of March and we went back to school on

 the 18th of May.  Learning at home was fun. I basically got to do anything I wanted except hanging out with friends.  I did work in the mornings and late at night .one night I stayed up till 2:00 in the morning so I could double my work and not do it the day after.

Most of my learning was easy but some priorities were hard cause I didn't really know what to do. My Mum checked my work so she knew what stage I was at.  I woke up at 9:00 to 11:00 most days and got on with my work. I checked in 3 to 2 days a week on google meets.

2020 SWIMMING!!!

2020 Swimming

Today was swimming, I started the day with a big blueberry smoothie and thought it was just a normal old school day, but little did I know that I had a big day ahead of me.  Obviously I forgot my togs so I ran home as fast as I could, and  then I got my togs and went back to school.  

1st Heat

My first heat was freestyle two lengths (50 meters) ,as soon as we got there my heart was pumping, I had so much butterflies in my stomach I couldn't feel my fingers.  The whistle blew bam I dived in, and I was up, I was going all out for the first heat and could not hold back my energy.  As I came to my second lap I was tired, but I did not stop not until I got my stick, and that was it 3rd place. 

2nd Heat

I was exhausted I couldn't bear the pain of tiredness I waited over 10 minutes for my turn in the 10 minutes I went to the shop and got some lollies.  Finally the time came I got up on the metal jumping board and boom oooooooh psh I raced in the water I tried my hardest and.  Made it 3rd place I was very proud of myself and went back to school very happy.
